Jessica: Actually, it'll be the
biggest break that the murderer
will get. They'll just put Natalie and Brody on the
case.
And they'll spend their whole
time jumping on one another,
claiming someone else made them
do it.

Clint: I'm sorry I brought it
up. She moved out. Just leave it
alone.

Jessica: You're right. You're
right. There is life after
Natalie. For both of us.

Clint: Well, I do not have a
problem with your sister.

Jessica: Really? Because I was
here after she kicked Kim out,
ok? And who is she to judge
anyone, anyway? If you want a
second chance with Kim, I say
you go for it.

Kim: So David was the
easiest part of the whole
deal.
Go figure. Clint was the
one--
man, you should've seen him.
He didn't look so hot. That
whole transplant thing really
took it out of him. Don't get me
wrong, he still had his
spark.
I know you were never into the
whole older guy thing, but
believe me, it's there.
I was about to tell him exactly
how I feel, and then Natalie
flew in on her broom and threw
me out. But don't worry, we're
just getting started. By the
time I'm done, that little bitch
will be calling me Mom.

Natalie: Geez, Rex.

Rex: You want me to pretend I'm
sorry?

Natalie: No, but you don't have
to celebrate the fact that he's
dead.

Rex: I'm not. But you have to
admit that the world is a better
place with Victor Lord, Jr.
gone. Come on, I thought you
hated the guy almost as much as
I did.

Natalie: Hate is a strong
word.
We had our differences.
Just do me a favor and please
don't go around repeating that
the world is better off in front
of other people.

Rex: I'm sure there's other
people who agree with me.

Natalie: Not Téa, or his
kids.

Rex: You want me to feel sorry
for the kid who got Gigi
killed?
Or the woman who helped him get
away with it?

Natalie: They lost a loved one,
and you know exactly what that
feels like.

Rex: Right. Now they know what
Shane and I have felt every
minute since we lost Gigi.

Brody: We put out an APB on
Todd Manning, so I assumed he
was our prime suspect.

Jessica: I wasn't here when she
first got here. What was it like
seeing her again?

Clint: We did a little catching
up.

Jessica: Come on, Dad. You can
tell me.

Clint: I don't know what you're
looking for, but--

Jessica: how did it feel? You
know, seeing her again.
Did you want to, you know--
were you excited or did you want
to kick her out?

Clint: Maybe a little bit of
both.

Jessica: Did she say why she
came back?

Clint: She said a lot of
things.

Jessica: Like?
Ok, fine. Tell me this.
If Kim said that she wanted you
back, would you take her?

Kim: I know, you're sick of
hearing about Clint. There's
more news, but it's kind of
weird. Ok, it's very weird, but
you should know. It's Rex.
He's kind of lost it. He dug up
Gigi's grave.

Rex: So did they make an
arrest?

Natalie: Not yet.

Rex: You have any clues?

Natalie: Still waiting on
Forensics.

Rex: You look beat.

Natalie: Came straight from
work, Rex. I am worried about
you.

Rex: I'm fine. Really.
Worry about yourself.
You work too much.

Natalie: Yes, I know.
That's how I knew about the
order of exhumation.

Rex: Yeah, I should've warned
you.

Natalie: Rex, why did you have
Gigi's body exhumed?
Did you really think she wasn't
gonna be there?

Rex: But she was.

Natalie: You saw her?

Rex: Yeah. Now I know Gigi's
dead.

Natalie: Hey...
you still seeing her?

Rex: No.

Natalie: And what about
everything else--the gravestone
being trashed?

Rex: Must've been some kids
playing a prank.

Natalie: Delphina? What she
said?

Rex: I know that you and Roxy
like her, but that "woman" needs
to get her radar checked.

Natalie: Yeah, you got a good
point there. She did send us on
a wild goose chase to
Kentucky.

Rex: I was supposed to find
Gigi--not Kim Andrews.

Natalie: And we led Kim straight
back to Dad.

Kim: So first this pasty
gravedigger tells me that Gigi's
grave's been vandalized, that
the date of her death had been
scratched off her headstone.
Creepy, right? And then Rex
shows up with Clint's brother
and a bunch of guys and they
start digging Gigi up.
I guess it's legal, but it
shouldn't be. They opened the
casket right there on the
ground. Rex was going totally
nuts. I was actually kind of
worried about him. It's like he
didn't think Gigi would be in
there. But that's crazy, isn't
it?

Vimal: It's my beautiful
wife and Llanview's best
arms.

Cristian: You can call me
Cris.

Vimal: I could.

Rama: Good morning, my love.

Vimal: You can still say that
to me?

Rama: Of course.

Cristian: Rama was trying to play matchmaker for me.

Vimal: Ah. I would think that would be easy.

Rama: No. He's too picky. And
close-minded. Why aren't you at work?

Vimal: Nobody at "The Sun" is
working today.

Rama: Is it another American
holiday?

Vimal: No. It's an official day
of mourning. You haven't
heard?
Victor Lord was murdered last
night.

John: Bottom line, we don't
know what happened in that house
last night.

Brody: We should have Forensics
soon.

John: We don't even know what
kind of gun killed Victor.
The bullet doesn't match the gun
taken from Dorian Lord's
house--

Brody: Want me to push the
M.E.?

John: I think they're working as
fast as they can.
Go ahead and focus on
Victor.

Brody: Anything in
particular?

John: Start with his enemies and
work backwards. I'm guessing
Manning wasn't even the only one
to threaten him this week.

Viki: How do you know
Victor's dead?

Todd: I saw a guy picking up
after his dog with that.
Front page? Really? Front
page.

Viki: He was our brother and he
was an important--

Todd: He was a jackass.
There's really nothing else in
the world that's newsworthy?

Viki: You read the news this
morning, and that's the first
you heard of it?

Todd: It's not like I have a
police scanner anymore.
What?

Viki: You really didn't
know?

Todd: Victor and I weren't
close. It's not like we had that
otherworldly twin thing, you
know, where you cut one of us
and the other one bleeds. I only
knew the man well enough to hate
him.
You think I killed him.

Aubrey: You're working at the
front desk of this fleabag
motel...for me?

Cutter: What did you say to me,
Aubrey? You said you didn't want
to scam Rex Balsom. You were
through running cons.
You wanted to leave me.

Aubrey: Yeah, but I didn't.

Cutter: Because you didn't have
the cash yet.
Look. I already lost you
once.
I'm not gonna do it again.
You want me to change, I'll
change. For you.

Aubrey: I don't know what to
say.

Cutter: Say you're still into
it. Say you're willing to go
back to the beginning. Just
Cutter and Christine.

Aubrey: Whoever they are.

Cutter: Find out with me.

Rama: What does this mean
for your job?

Vimal: Rama, a man is dead.

Rama: He was a tyrant who only
paid you a fraction of what you
are worth.

Vimal: Victor Lord saved me. He
gave me a job.

Rama: For his own reasons.
He used people and treated them
with contempt.
No one cared much for him, not
even his own family.

Vimal: Rama!

Rama: Do you think one of them
killed him?

Vimal: Please.

Rama: Well, someone did.
So many people had reasons to
want him dead.
Vimal?

Vimal: I have to go.

Rama: What's wrong?

Vimal: I left the iron on.

Cristian: What was that
about?

Rama: I don't know. But he's lying. We don't have an
iron.
I send everything to the
cleaners.

Brody: Am I the only one on
this?

John: No. We're all in on this
case until it breaks. Take
anyone you need from the squad
to help you.

Brody: I can handle it.

John: There's gonna be other
suspects. We'll find them.
It's just a matter of time.

Cristian: I should call
Blair. She and
Todd--Victor--
they went through a lot, but she
did care about him.

Rama: Like you care about
her?

Cristian: Not the same.

Rama: If I remember correctly,
according to your "Access
Llanview" profile, you and Blair
were once an item.

Cristian: Blair and I were never
serious.

Rama: But there was a spark,
right? Perhaps with a little
fanning there could be a
flame?

Cristian: I don't think Blair's
in the mood for fanning right
now, and I wouldn't risk our
friendship anyway.

Rama: Sometimes that's the best
kind. You two are comfortable
with each other.

Cristian: Look, Rama, I
appreciate the thought, but why
don't we drop it?

Rama: Drop what? Your life?
Romance?

Cristian: I'm not on the
market.

Rama: Listen, Cristian, why
don't you just go out with one
of these girls, give them a
chance, for fun?

Cristian: I'm not gonna find a
woman online.

Rama: Ok. Ok. So how about
someone from your past?
I've heard all these
stories.

Cristian: Sarah. She lives on
the road. She's touring with a
band. Rock band.

Rama: Vanessa Montez.

Cristian: She got deported.

Rama: Roseanne?

Cristian: All this is in my
"Access Llanview" profile?

Rama: Of course. It was
fascinating. Roseanne.
How about Roseanne?

Cristian: Roseanne married a
country-western singer.

Rama: Jessica?

Cristian: Jess--

Rama: Jessica Brennan. Now we're
getting somewhere.

Jessica: So if Kim said
that she wanted to pick up where
she left off, would you...

Clint: Would I ask her to say
here with you and me and your
mother? Are you truly asking me
this?

Jessica: Would you want to be
with her?

Clint: I am under house arrest,
and I am lucky to be alive.
That's all I think about these
days. That and what's going on
with you and Robert Ford.

Jessica: There's nothing going
on.

Clint: That's not the way it
sounded.

Jessica: Natalie's shot
yesterday? She's just trying to
stir the pot, ok? Actually, Ford
and I decided not to see each
other anymore.

Clint: But you were seeing each
other?

Jessica: No, Dad, not like
that.
When he comes to pick up Ryder,
we see each other, and...
we both love our son.
There was a moment.

Clint: Really? What kind of
moment?

Jessica: We kissed.

Rex: So Kim's back in
Llanview?

Natalie: No, thanks. Yeah, yeah,
that skank beat a trail to Dad's
door the minute she found out he
was sick.

Rex: She saw Clint.

Natalie: Oh! Yes, I found her
all over him. I don't know what
she thinks she's gonna get out
of it. I mean, he's broke.

Rex: Maybe she doesn't want
anything.
It's possible.

Natalie: Please. I kicked her
trashy butt right out the
door.

Rex: That's just gonna make
Clint want her even more.

Natalie: Ok, please, I really
don't want to hear about the two
of them together.

Rex: I'm just saying you might
be better off leaving them
alone. Either Clint catches on
to her or she moves on because
he's broke.

Natalie: Or she finds some new
way to ruin my family. Trust
me.
That girl can do no good.

Rex: Don't I know it.

Kim: Do you believe it? Rex
acted like Gigi was alive. But
that's nuts, isn't it? So the
casket is open and Gigi is in
it, like, duh, right?
Rex is losing it and then his
kid shows up. It was a total
freak show. Anyways, enough
tales from her crypt. I have
something that'll make you feel
much better.
Check out our girl Sierra
Rose.
A year and change already.
Can you believe it? She's
walking and talking. I surprised
Kyle and Fish so they couldn't
pretend they weren't at
home.
Look at that outfit. I was a
little worried, but not bad,
huh? She seems happy, but not as
happy as she could be.
So you gotta get better.

Todd: You think I killed
Victor?

Viki: No, I didn't say that.

Todd: The only person in the
world who has more enemies than
me, and you think I killed
him.

Viki: No! The police are looking
for you. They want you for
questioning.

Todd: Me and everyone else in
this town.

Viki: Todd, they put out an APB
on you. They think you took a
gun.

Todd: A gun?

Viki: From the safe at La
Boulaie.

Todd: Why would they think
that?

Viki: I don't know.

Todd: Who would tell--
why would Blair say that?

Viki: Is it true?

Todd: I guess you don't see
someone for 8 years, they can
change how they feel, right?
Out of sight...

Viki: You have not answered my
question.

Todd: A guy steals my whole life
and everybody's just fine with
it.

Viki: Did you take the gun from
the safe?

Vimal: Tell me straight
away, Officer.

Brody: What are you doing
here?

Vimal: Victor Lord, Jr. was
murdered.

Brody: We heard. And I'm busy
with the investigation, so--

Vimal: Who else knew the truth
about Liam?

Brody: You want a megaphone?

Vimal: Dr. Saybrooke, me, and
Mr. Lord. Dr. Saybrooke can
never come back to Llanview.
Me, I swore to keep your secret
safe. So we're no threat, but
Mr. Lord was.

Brody: You need to leave and let
me do my job.

Vimal: Not until you look me in n
the eye and tell me the
truth.
Did you kill Victor Lord?

Natalie: Rex, I did not come
here to talk about Kim.

Rex: Ok. Natty, she bugs
you.
I get that. But she's not a
threat. You could take her in
your sleep.

Natalie: We're not talking about
me.

Rex: Well, if you think Kim
turns Clint into a moron, just
keep an eye on him.

Natalie: I can't.
I don't live there anymore.

Rex: You moved out of
Llanfair?
Why?

Natalie: It was time. And
Jessica's making life way too
dramatic.

Rex: Where are you going?

Natalie: Brody and Liam and I
got our own place.

Rex. Wow. That's big.

Natalie: I know.
It's what families do.

Vimal: Oh, my God, it's
true. You shot Victor Lord.

Brody: Keep your voice down.

Vimal: Are you gonna kill me,
too? You were a Navy Seal.
You can make me disappear.
I won't let you.

Brody: Vimal, shut up!

John: Boys, is there a problem
here?

Kim: Let's play "When bad
clothes happen to worse
people."
Ooh, they covered the "Vicker
Man" premiere. Ionia Masters and
Dorian Lord are in the same
dress. Ionia wore it better.
Oh, stop. Rick Powers was
there.
Remember him? He swore he'd make
you a star, then he skipped out
on a $400 tab? Slime.
Oh, my God. Cutter?

Aubrey: You want to change
for me. Wow, nobody's ever done
something like that for me
before.

Cutter: I haven't really done
anything yet.

Aubrey: But you're trying.

Cutter: Yeah.

Aubrey: I don't know what to
say.

Cutter: You don't have to say
anything, Christine.

Aubrey: Christine. It sounds so
weird. I don't even know who
that girl is anymore. Aubrey's
been my name for so long, I just
feel more like her.

Cutter: So stay Aubrey.
Just stay.

Rama: Jessica Brennan.
Perfect!

Cristian: It would never
work.

Rama: Why not?

Cristian: It was a long time
ago. We were young. We were each
other's first love.

Rama: The most romantic
kind.

Cristian: Rama, stop.

Rama: It's true!

Cristian: There were a lot of
problems, all right? I was from
the wrong side of town. Her
family was--

Rama: Romeo and Juliet!

Cristian: No. No. Look, too much
happened, ok? We messed it
up.
And, like I said, it was years
ago.

Rama: So are you saying there's
no spark anymore? No part of
either of you that wants to try
to get back together?

Cristian: What? Are you talking
about the time that--last year,
when she thought she was a
teenager and that we were in
love?

Rama: Yeah. She went back to the
place that she felt the
happiest.

Cristian: I don't know about
that.

Rama: That woman has a large
number of people she can become
if she wants to escape. She
chose herself. With you.
She chose her first love.

Cristian: She was sick.
And I was engaged.

Rama: Well, now she's well, and
you're single.
Could you be interested?

Clint: Ford put his hands
on you?

Jessica: No, it was his lips,
but it wasn't--Dad, stop.
Dad, no!

Clint: I have not forgotten what
he did to you and how he
manip--

Jessica: Stop, ok?
Look, it's a messy situation, and
we're trying to work our way
through it. He's around because
he loves his son.

Clint: That doesn't give him the
right to force himself on
you.

Jessica: He didn't force himself
on me, Dad, ok? He saw something
in me that reminded him of Tess,
and he just misses her so much,
apologized the second it
happened, ok?

Clint: And that makes it all
better, does it?

Jessica: What was he supposed to
do?

Clint: He could've stayed away
from you like--

Jessica: Right. Like I said.

Clint: Do you think he will
stick to it?

Jessica: I think it hurts him
too much to be around.

Clint: Forgive me if I don't
shed any tears.
Jessica, please tell me that you
would never consider getting
involved with that guy.

Vimal: I work at "The Sun"
and we're all really upset about
Mr. Lord being murdered.

John: I heard you in my
office.

Vimal: Then you know I won't be
silenced. I want to know that
you're doing all you can to
investigate.

John: We're doing all we can to
investigate, and we'd be
grateful for any help you could
give us.

Vimal: I don't know
anything.

John: How do you know? You might
have information you don't even
know about.
Mind answering a few
questions?

Todd: Let's say I did have
a gun.
Doesn't mean he killed
Victor.

Viki: No, but it looks really
bad. You made your feelings about him so clear.

Todd: The man stole my life. Let
me ask you something. When he
replaced me, when he suckered
every one of you, that didn't
upset you?

Viki: He didn't know!

Todd: I don't believe you buy
that.

Viki: Yes, I buy that.
Maybe that's how much we all
wanted you back. We believed
him. We loved him. Starr
did.
Téa and Jack. Everybody and he
was my brother, too.

Todd: He was a tool who was
manipulated by an evil and
insane mother. That's if you buy
that. My own personal belief is
that he knew exactly what he was
doing. He was a fraud, and he
didn't give a damn about any one
of you.

Viki: No, that's just not
true.

Todd: Ok, let me ask you
something, Viki. Did Victor ever
stand up for you? Did he ever
protect your children? Was he
ever a brother to you?
The world's better off without
that parasite, don't you
think?
What are you doing?

Viki: I promised John McBain
that I would call him if you
showed up.

Cristian: Rama, this is really
nice, but--

Rama: But what? Just go away and
be quiet? I won't. I'm gonna
tell you something your friends
and family won't.

Cristian: What's that?

Rama: If you don't take charge
of your life now, you're gonna
die alone in your studio
surrounded by buckets of
paint.
And perhaps an old dog to keep
you company.

Cristian: That doesn't sound
good.

Rama: It's your future if you
don't change it. Jessica
Brennan. Your first love.
What better place is there to
start again? Cristian, has any
kiss been more exciting than
your first kiss? And what about
the first moment you both
confessed your true feelings for
each other? Not many people have
the chance to recapture all
this. These are sweet
treasures.
You have that chance.

Cristian: So I'm supposed to
just show up at her doorstep
and...what?

Rama: See if those old feelings
are still there. And do it
now.
You're not getting any
younger.

Cristian: Thanks.

Rama: You're welcome. And
hurry.
You only have so much life to
live.

Jessica: Ford and I have
decided not to see each other
anymore, and that's the end of
the story.

Clint: Ok. Jessica, you deserve
so much better.

Jessica: I'm fine, Dad.

Clint: No, you're not.
Natalie and Brody knocked you
for a loop. And I know you're
healing, and you're good about
it now and then, but there's no
denying it's been rough.

Jessica: What hasn't this
year?
Relax, Dad. I'm kidding.

Clint: I know you are. But it's
still the truth. That's why I'd
hate to see you get involved
with some guy who's already
proved that he can't be
trusted.
You deserve so much better,
honey. You deserve a man who
loves you and the kids like the
treasures you are.

Jessica: You sure that he's out
there?

Clint: You'll find him.
Or maybe he'll find you.

Kim: "Cutter and Aubrey Wentworth, notable for faking a
sibling relationship while
trying to con Joey Buchanan out
of millions"? Millions?
"Are escorted away from the red
carpet when caught trying to
crash the party. Once living the
high life in the Buchanans'
moated manse, the pair were
exposed and disgraced. They're
now slumming it at the Minute
Man Motel." Unbelievable. Honey,
I hate to do it, but I gotta get
back to Llanview, like,
yesterday.

Cutter: You like our
turn-down service?

Aubrey: Ha! Shouldn't you be
wearing a little maid's outfit
for that?

Cutter: I can try that.

Aubrey: You're really into this
changing thing, huh?

Cutter: Yeah. I am.

Aubrey: Cutter, I don't want you
to turn into a completely
different person.

Cutter: So what--you want just
an honest working stiff?

Aubrey: Yeah. Something like
that.

Cutter: I can be two out of the
three of those.

Aubrey: Oh, be serious.

Cutter: I am serious. So
serious, in fact, that I am
getting out of your bed and
going to work.

Aubrey: What? Now?

Cutter: Yup. There.
You don't want me to get fired,
right? There is a bloody carpet
in the room next door that needs
some tending to.
So I'm gonna take care of
it.
Living the dream!

Aubrey: You're an
inspiration.
Oh. Seriously.
You're not the only one who can
get a job.

Natalie: I'm not sure I'm
buying this "I'm fine"
thing.

Rex: I am. Really.

Natalie: You're better.
But I'm not gonna stop checking
in.

Rex: I hope you don't. I'm sure
you know how all those remotes
work.
So are you gonna go home to
sleep?

Natalie: No. Back to the
station. I'm sure that Victor's
autopsy report should be
back.

Rex: What's that gonna tell
you?
You already know he was
shot.

Natalie: What kind of gun killed him.

John: What are you looking
at him for?

Vimal: I hardly knew Mr.
Manning.

John: He hired you, didn't
he?

Vimal: Yeah, but I'd only
started working at "The
Sun."

John: He must have had a lot of
faith in you. Must've liked
you.
I've seen your personal
records.
Paid you a very good salary for
a guy just out of
Statesville.

Vimal: Mr. Lord--he was very
kind to me.

John: Was he?
And you owed him, right?

Vimal: Yeah.

John: You certainly want to see
his killer brought to justice,
don't you?

Vimal: Yeah. I should tell--
it's the right thing to--

John: It is the right thing.
What do you want to tell us,
Vimal?

Vimal: I have information that
could lead you straight to the
killer.

John: What do you want to tell
us?

Todd: You're calling the
cops?

Viki: Come on. They just want to
talk to you.
Just tell me you didn't kill
him.

Todd: I shouldn't have to tell
you anything. You know me.

Viki: Yes, you're right.
I do know you.

Todd: Ok.
Let's say I did kill him.
Do you really think I'd be
stupid enough to shoot him? I
finally get my life back after 8
years. You think I'd risk going
to jail? What the hell is the
matter with you?

Viki: No. Come on!
It's only gonna make things
worse for you. They're gonna
find you. You're gonna have to
answer the questions at some
point. Running is not the
answer.

Todd: What do you care?
You've already written me
of

Viki: Oh...

Jessica: Hey. Mom.
Who was here? I heard
voices.

Viki: Yes, you did hear
voices.
Clint, it's time for your
pills.

Jessica: We were just going to
the kitchen.

[Doorbell rings]

Viki: Would you mind getting
that, please? I'll take your
father.

Clint: I can wheel myself

Viki:
You don't want to fight me
today.

Clint: I'm not gonna swallow
anything until you tell me all
about it.

Viki: Right.

Jessica: Hi.
What are you doing here?

Rama: Aubrey?
I thought you left town.

Aubrey: I changed my mind.

Rama: You're looking for a
job?

Aubrey: And maybe getting back
together with Cutter. Maybe.

Rama: Really?

Aubrey: But this time, it would
be different. No more
secrets.
No more cons. I was even
thinking about going back to my
real name.

Rama: That is different.

Aubrey: Although I do really
like "Aubrey Wentworth."
Even though it belongs to
someone else.

[Knocking on door]

Cutter: Aubrey?

John: So what do you know
about Victor's death?

Vimal: Um...
that man. The other Todd Manning. He broke into the "Sun" offices the other day,
and that was the same day that Jack Manning was assaulted. So
clearly, he wished to Mr. Lord
some ill will and was not above
using violence.

Officer. I just hope it doesn't
make me an accessory to
murder.
